Azure Firewall evaluates rule collections in order of priority, starting with the lowest numerical value. Because Deny-Internet has a lower priority number (100) than Allow-Internal (200), traffic to 10.5.0.4 first matches the broader deny rule and is blocked. Lowering the priority number of Allow-Internal places the allow rule ahead of the deny rule, so packets destined for 10.0.0.0/8 are accepted, and traffic that does not match that prefix continues to be denied by the subsequent Deny-Internet rule. Converting Deny-Internet to an application rule or adding an application rule would not help because network rules are evaluated before application rules. Forced tunneling does not affect intra-virtual-network traffic and would not resolve the issue.
